Monday:
Salvation Army
(4:15 pm)
Twice every
week, (again on
Thursday) we
serve the
evening meal at
the Salvation
Army and help
with clean up
after supper. We
will get you
there and back.
If you are
hungry, you can
have supper too!
To get in on
this, look for
the sign up
sheet on the
table as you
enter the State
Street entrance
of the Center.
There is room
for three
students. We
leave from the
Newman Center at
4:15 and it
takes about an
hour.
Sunday Scripture
Hour (7:00 pm,
ongoing):
This Bible study
looks ahead at
the upcoming
Sunday readings.
It will give you a sneak
preview of the
what you'll hear
on the weekend,
and maybe offer
some insights into
Fr. Al's homily.
At 8:00
pm,
there is another
Bible study
opportunity that
will focus on a
particular book
or theme of the
Bible. This one
will start on
Sept.
19th at 8:00 pm,
beginning with
an
Introduction to
the Book we call
Sacred.
The next five
weeks will focus
on the Book of
Exodus,
then 5 weeks of
Genesis.
If you like to
plan ahead, next
semester will
take a look at
the Gospel of
Mark.
Tuesday:
Sacramental
Reconciliation (11:30)
before the 12:05
Mass
Book
study (7:000pm)
Disorientation: How to go
to college without losing your mind! Get
in touch with Fr. Al to get a copy of the book.
Choosing to be
Catholic (7:00
pm)
A series of
presentations by
a variety of
speakers
designed to
offer a
contemporary
look at
spirituality and
what it means to
be Catholic in
the present age.
A regular
feature of this
evening will
be
Fr.
Robert Barron's
video series
simple called
"Catholicism".
This
high-definition
series exploring
the beauty and
richness of
Catholic history
and tradition is
also scheduled
to air on public
television
stations across
the U.S. this
fall.
Wednesday:
Student Supper
of Substance
(5:30 pm) About
every other week
or so, there’s a
Student Supper
of Substance.
This home-cooked
meal is hosted
by parish
families and
includes a
presentation on
a current topic
of interest to
our student
members. Good
stuff for the
growing body,
mind and spirit.
And it's all
free! Sign up at
the Center's
State Street
entrance. The
first supper
in fall is just
for
freshman and new
transfer
students. After
that, it's open
to everyone.
After
Hours Prayer (6:30)
Take time out in
the middle of
your week for
some time with
the Lord. Before
each prayer
experience,
we'll offer some
tips to help you
develop a more
fruitful prayer
life. Mid week
prayer will
include a
variety of
prayer forms:
Eucharistic
adoration, Taize,
prayer using
guided imagery,
praying with
scripture, etc.
Don't be shy to
suggest
something you'd
like to see us
incorporate into
After Hours
Prayer.
The program for
the spring
semester, 2012,
looks like this
Thursday:
Salvation Army
(4:15 pm):
Here's another
opportunity to
help with the
meal at the
Salvation Army
if Monday
doesn’t work for
you. Again, to
get in on this,
there is always
a sign up sheet,
with room for
three students,
at the State
Street entrance
of the Center.
We leave from
the Center at
4:15 and it
takes about an
hour.
Sacramental
Reconciliation (6:00
pm)
Student Bible
Share (7:30-8:30
pm)
In the Newman
Center's Bartl
Fireplace
Lounge, join
other students
to read and
discuss the role
of the Bible in
your life.
Student liturgy
of the day (9:00
pm)
A late night
liturgy, just
for students.
Place of Grace
(4:30 pm) This
is the local
Catholic Worker
House. We
go there to
experience another
way of reaching
out to those in
need. If you
sign up for
this, your first
priority is
having supper
with the other
guests. After
that, you might
enjoy hanging
out with the
kids who might
be there or
maybe you can
give someone a
break from
washing the
dishes. This one
might need a
little more of
your time, say
an
hour and a half
or so.
And by the way,
feel free to
drop in at
Gracie's for
lunch on Tuesday
or Wednesday
when
they are open
over the noon
hour from 10:00
- 2:00.
Friday:
Saturday:
Mass (5:00 pm)
Weekend worship
is in the Newman
Student Chapel. It'll be
great if you can
help out as a
greeter, reader,
song leader or
communion
minister. Just
let us know you
are interested
and we'll be in
touch with you
regarding
training
sessions.
Sunday:
Mass (9:00 am,
11:15 am, [and
7:00 pm when
school is in
session]):
The 7:00 Mass is
definitely the
favorite of
students. Stick
around after the
evening Mass for
fellowship
with other
students, and
enjoy some of jon’s
pretty-good®
home-made store
pizza, and jon’s
pretty-good® red
beverage
product. They
say they're
pretty good.
Sacramental
Reconciliation
(6:00pm)
And something
else
Adopt-A-Student
~ Permanent
members of our
parish family
look forward to
meeting Newman
Catholic
Students. As
well, students
often enjoy
making
connections with
parish families.
To help this
happen, you can
sign up to be
"adopted" by one
of the parish
families. No,
this doesn't
mean you get an
allowance or
the keys to the
family car on weekends,
but you can look
forward to being
welcomed into a
parish family to
share a meal or
being part of a
family event.
You sign up for
this on the
student
parishioner
registration
card. You'll
find that we're
big on
hospitality
here!
